Chapter 1. Examination and Diagnosis of the Psychiatric Patient Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
1.A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing occasional feelings of sadness because of the recent death of a beloved pet. The client’s appetite,
sleep patterns, and daily routine have not changed. How should the nurse interpret the client’s behaviors?
1. The client’s behaviors demonstrate mental illness in the form of depression.
2. The client’s behaviors are extensive, which indicates the presence of mental illness.
3. The client’s behaviors are not congruent with cultural norms.
4. The client’s behaviors demonstrate no functional impairment, indicating no mental illness.
2.At what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk
for developing a mental illness?
1. When thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are not reflective of the DSM-5 criteria.
2. When maladaptive responses to stress
are coupled with interference in daily
functioning.
3. When a client communicates significant distress.
4. When a client uses defense mechanisms as ego protection.
3.A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who

2. It is abnormal for identical twins to react di erentlyff to similar stressors. 3. Identical twins should share the same
temperament and respond similarly to
stress.
4. Environmental influences to stress weigh more heavily than genetic influences.

5.A psychiatric nurse intern states, “This client’s use of defense
mechanisms should be eliminated.” Which is a correct evaluation of this nurse’s statement?

2. Defense mechanisms are a maladaptive attempt of the ego to manage anxiety and should always be
eliminated.
3. Defense mechanisms, used by individuals with weak ego integrity, should be
discouraged and not eliminated. 4. Defense mechanisms cause disintegration of the ego and should be fostered and encouraged.
6.During an intake assessment, a nurse asks both physiological
and psychosocial questions. The client angrily responds, “I’m here for my heart, not
my head problems.” Which is the nurse’s best response?
